@Rob_McKay @EVStraya Also don’t forget that they poison the land under them so any life coming within 100m must die instantly.

@EVStraya Don’t forget “robbing us of our food” by using “prime agricultural land”.
And all the HUGE landfill issues they create…

@heritage_why I don't get these people waffling on about Communism and Socialism and wanting a "return to 1980's" Australia. I well remember the late 60's through to the 80's and our values were far more Socialist back then compared to now.

@TheDriven_io We have them in The Gong. They need to make them waaaay more common. One or two per street would be a good start.

For #EVs to truly go mainstream, #Australia needs more public “kerbside” #chargers. These can be microwave-sized boxes mounted to power poles or slightly larger boxes fixed to the kerb.. thedriven.io/2026/05/25/aus…

@daisyldixon @ADCalzetta ~$80 for a external disk. Activate Time Machine. Can't tell you how many times this has helped me and saved clients with simple recoveries and roll-backs.

Thanks for everyone’s help, the brilliant @ADCalzetta saved the manuscript!! *applause for Alejandro*

Suddenly there was a disturbance in the Force. As if a 1000 anti-renewable accounts all cried out in anguish and were extinguished at once.

@Ludi0us @adamemedia1 Ha ha .. how is it any different from any other politician that lies to get elected?
English

@adamemedia1 this is an incredibly dangerous precedent to set and he should be unelected...no?? because this is gonna lead to conservatives doing the same exact thing: pretending to be leftist queer politicians only to come out and start passing anti lgbt laws when theyre elected??

#Fortescue starts building biggest solar farm outside main #grid, and a giant eight-hour battery as it races to reach its target of real zero emissions by 2030.. reneweconomy.com.au/fortescue-star…

The amount of pollution from Elon’s bullshit space program that he will never be held accountable for is tough to grapple with

@gilestbaldwin @tsport100 Just fine. They continue to grade and maintain them just as they always have.

@ironic_capital @tsport100 Since you didn't want to read Fortescue's own words I'll paraphrase it for you. Fortescue is expecting full completion of its Pilbara grid by the end of 2028. This includes 1.2GW of solar capacity, more than 600MW of wind generation, and 4-5GWh of battery energy storage.

@_Gaffa_ @tsport100 Sorry futurist. Let's see your power calcs.

@ironic_capital @tsport100 Why does every mouth breather and their dog think batteries and renewables are done in the dark? Yes, these sites will be 24/7.

@_Gaffa_ @tsport100 Real trucks come on at midnight?
This is all off grid right?
Why is there only 1?
Cables going to be everywhere lol.
Productivity going to be in the toilet.

Reality check hot shot. All major players out there in the mining sphere actively vi for government grants. It has nothing to do with powertrains. It's just good business.
The nearest I can see in relation to this is a $10M ARENA grant. This funding supports a $40M project to develop 6MW fast chargers capable of charging 240-tonne battery electric mining trucks in under 30 minutes.
$10M is a nice to have, but money like that is pocket change to these guys. Their whole switch to fully electric backed by their own renewables power stations is a project over $6B

@_Gaffa_ @tsport100 It’s fun what machines you can make which are funded by gov grants
